    Always excellent quality.
    I have bought 5 products from SGS over the last 12 months. All of them are excellent quality and work as described. No complaints from me and I expect to be using them for years to come. Can SGS improve, of course…. better instructions; better communications about shipment; improved finishing (sharp edges!) …. however these are small things …. overall this is the best company I have dealt with online. Recommended.

    A Quality well engineered engine hoist .Assembly is easy taking about half an hour ,I assembled on my own but I would recommend two, as the parts our quite heavy. The most fiddely part is fitting the casters but once I realised that fitting the two bolts in the slotted holes first and sliding it to the outside of the base section , which made it easier to get your hand in the base section to fit the nuts. Which gets to my only critism that the build instructions could be better
    I would recommend.

    Ordered the 1 ton engine crane, super fast delivery. Brilliant piece of kit, well made, all bolts already in place, so you don’t need to spend an hour sorting which one goes where... it’s sturdy, and you can put your trust in it completely..... oh and it’s black, way cooler than a red one... and talking of red ones, don’t bother going on eBay, for one of those cheaper jobs, having recently sold one on after using it once, it scared the hell out of me, they’re just awful.

    Really is professional Quality
    I looked at the price of hiring an engine crane and decided that I would buy one as I needed first to remove my engine and then reinstall it again some time later. I was concerned that buying unseen I might end up with something of questionable quality made in China.
    I would recommend the SGS engine crane to anyone. It is well engineered, very heavy construction and works extremely well. It took myself and a neighbour just to slide the delivered carton into my garage.
    Well done SGS on providing such a great piece of kit at such a fair price.

    Great product and excellent delivery service
    Great sturdy piece of kit, put together in 30-45mins on your own and it came the next day..
    The only thing I would criticise is, when folding it up, it is becomes quite unbalanced. Also when it is folded (nice and neatly I might add) the little stopper on the front which stops it tipping forward, when it's don't enough to lock it in position it will never fall forward however it doesn't take a lot to make it fall backwards.. but really pleased overall for money

    A great piece of kit...better built and sgnificantly cheaper than competitors , including those from Sealey and Machine Mart. took out combined engine and gearbox from my old Volvo with ease... You need to buy a hook and chain or levelling gantry to be able to use the crane though . Highly recommended.

    BRILLIANT PIECE OF KIT AT A GREAT PRICE
    Arrived following day just as they said. Heavy pack but OK for 2 people. Quite easy to erect, but instructions could be a bit fuller. A note to say caster bolts must have nuts on inside of tube would have saved me 20mins as the bolts wont clear the revolving caster. Then its very diffcult to get nut and washers on unless you have a very small hand. Quality is very solid and workmanlike, lifted my 300Kg engine with no trouble or effort. Overall very good value. If the rest of SGS kit is like this buy with absolute confidence from this company.

    Delighted with the product
    I needed an engine crane in my garage to move a very heavy lathe around. I ordered the 1 Ton version primarily because of its positive reviews here, its price and, because I live in Northern Ireland, the very reasonable cost of transport - £50 as opposed to many rivals who wanted up to £110!

    I can't praise the (Nightline) courier company highly enough. They rang me and unfortunately I was running late. The courier very kindly off loaded the crane himself - the guy must have been an Olympic weight lifter!) and left it neatly outside my garage.

    The crane went together in about 25 minutes; it would have been quicker if I'd read the instructions properly and put the wheel bolts in the right way round.

    All in all delighted with my purchase.

    Super crane
    Super crane, i've not actually used it on an engine yet but rather for moving a lathe around our workshop! It was quick to put together, just remember as others have noted not to tighten the bolts up until the whole things is assembled.

    Great bit of kit and I would definately recommend it to anyone.

    I ordered this item at 3pm on Friday. It arrived on my doorstep at 07:40 on the Monday!! Never had better service, I collect older Land Rovers, and parts are heavier than most cars... This handled three engines easily within 30 minutes of being assembled (which, by the way, was a doddle). Thank you chaps!

    Dont bother hiring one at this price you might as well own it!
    I was supposed to be getting a loan of a crane for free but it was not able to happen in the end. I needed one for at least 2 weeks and the cost of hiring was more than the cost of buying this crane!

    I seen all the good reviews and thought this was the best deal. Priced cheaper than some of the unbranded ebay items, i thought it was best to go with a well established company than ebay when it comes to supporting my engine!

    So glad i went with sgs! Build quality is outstanding for the price! Its a full size crane so make sure you have space for it. No problems what so ever. Very happy with my purchase!

    Big frame
    I bought this crane after I saw it in the SGS showroom. I had been looking for a crane and had just purchased the Clarke 1 ton online but didn't realise how small the frame was from the pictures - almost half the size of the SGS crane! Considering this is also cheaper is was a no-brainer for me to return the Clarke and purchase the SGS version instead.

    I got it put it together in about 30 min and it worked great with all the adjustments on it. The main reason that I got this one was that it of folds away and you can roll it into the corner without it taking up too much room in the garage. I would recommend the hoist.

    After much deliberation I finally managed to convince myself that I really needed one of these cranes - after all you can never have too many tools! There is a bit of assembly but nothing difficult and it feels really sturdy when in use.

    It's quite compact when folded down and dismantled and doesn't take up too much room in my garage.

    I looked at the price of hiring an engine crane and decided that I would buy one as I needed first to remove my engine and then reinstall it again some time later. I was concerned that buying unseen I might end up with something of questionable quality made in China.
    I would recommend the SGS engine crane to anyone. It is well engineered, very heavy construction and works extremely well. It took myself and a neighbour just to slide the delivered carton into my garage.
    Well done SGS on providing such a great piece of kit at such a fair price.

    Great product and excellent delivery service
    Great sturdy piece of kit, put together in 30-45mins on your own and it came the next day..
    The only thing I would criticise is, when folding it up, it is becomes quite unbalanced. Also when it is folded (nice and neatly I might add) the little stopper on the front which stops it tipping forward, when it's don't enough to lock it in position it will never fall forward however it doesn't take a lot to make it fall backwards.. but really pleased overall for money

    1 Ton Engine Hoist
    Have planned on several types of hoist in my garage, but this one answers all questions.
    Could not have purchased so much steel and made such a Useful Tool for the same price.It is a permanent friend when you need one, and store it it away neatly when finished using it . Thank you S.G.S.

    fantastic value..highly recommended
    A great piece of kit...better built and sgnificantly cheaper than competitors , including those from Sealey and Machine Mart. took out combined engine and gearbox from my old Volvo with ease... You need to buy a hook and chain or levelling gantry to be able to use the crane though . Highly recommended.

    1 ton egine hoist
    Got mine delivered yesterday. Real pleased with the heavy build quality. Nice bit a tackle. Needs 2 people really to assemble. Rear castors a bit of a fiddle with stubby fingers. 10/10 as a lifting hoist tho.

    BRILLIANT PIECE OF KIT AT A GREAT PRICE
    Arrived following day just as they said. Heavy pack but OK for 2 people. Quite easy to erect, but instructions could be a bit fuller. A note to say caster bolts must have nuts on inside of tube would have saved me 20mins as the bolts wont clear the revolving caster. Then its very diffcult to get nut and washers on unless you have a very small hand. Quality is very solid and workmanlike, lifted my 300Kg engine with no trouble or effort. Overall very good value. If the rest of SGS kit is like this buy with absolute confidence from this company.

    Delighted with the product
    I needed an engine crane in my garage to move a very heavy lathe around. I ordered the 1 Ton version primarily because of its positive reviews here, its price and, because I live in Northern Ireland, the very reasonable cost of transport - £50 as opposed to many rivals who wanted up to £110!

    I can't praise the (Nightline) courier company highly enough. They rang me and unfortunately I was running late. The courier very kindly off loaded the crane himself - the guy must have been an Olympic weight lifter!) and left it neatly outside my garage.

    The crane went together in about 25 minutes; it would have been quicker if I'd read the instructions properly and put the wheel bolts in the right way round.

    All in all delighted with my purchase.

    Super crane
    Super crane, i've not actually used it on an engine yet but rather for moving a lathe around our workshop! It was quick to put together, just remember as others have noted not to tighten the bolts up until the whole things is assembled.

    Great bit of kit and I would definately recommend it to anyone.

    A Godsend
    I ordered this item at 3pm on Friday. It arrived on my doorstep at 07:40 on the Monday!! Never had better service, I collect older Land Rovers, and parts are heavier than most cars... This handled three engines easily within 30 minutes of being assembled (which, by the way, was a doddle). Thank you chaps!

    Dont bother hiring one at this price you might as well own it!
    I was supposed to be getting a loan of a crane for free but it was not able to happen in the end. I needed one for at least 2 weeks and the cost of hiring was more than the cost of buying this crane!

    I seen all the good reviews and thought this was the best deal. Priced cheaper than some of the unbranded ebay items, i thought it was best to go with a well established company than ebay when it comes to supporting my engine!

    So glad i went with sgs! Build quality is outstanding for the price! Its a full size crane so make sure you have space for it. No problems what so ever. Very happy with my purchase!

    Big frame
    I bought this crane after I saw it in the SGS showroom. I had been looking for a crane and had just purchased the Clarke 1 ton online but didn't realise how small the frame was from the pictures - almost half the size of the SGS crane! Considering this is also cheaper is was a no-brainer for me to return the Clarke and purchase the SGS version instead.

    Great engine hoist at a great price.
    I got it put it together in about 30 min and it worked great with all the adjustments on it. The main reason that I got this one was that it of folds away and you can roll it into the corner without it taking up too much room in the garage. I would recommend the hoist.

    Very pleased with this crane
    After much deliberation I finally managed to convince myself that I really needed one of these cranes - after all you can never have too many tools! There is a bit of assembly but nothing difficult and it feels really sturdy when in use.

    It's quite compact when folded down and dismantled and doesn't take up too much room in my garage.
